Leibowitz writes in one of the letters that he undertakes to deliver speeches in the Tel Aviv branch but he criticizes the list of subjects sent to him and suggests alternative subjects; in one letter he writes: "I shall of course not refuse in future to lecture, since spoken words are different from written ones. I am always ready to discuss and debate with people with whom I absolutely disagree, because the verbal debate does not oblige me and does not include me in their frameworkג€¦". [3] leaves written on both sides, 26 cm. Good condition. Tears with text omission at upper left corner. Folding-marks, filing holes.
